Another rare, but sort of oddly regular, price drop in the US on an Archie Goodwin/Nero Wolfe title by Rex Stout. The Golden Spiders, which is the 22nd in the series, has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US as part of today's Daily Deal, matched at Kobo US. Titles in this series (with a few exceptions) don't go on sale very often, but they do seem to pop up from time to time, and without many (any?) repeats. My list of titles that I need in e-book in this series is slowly getting shorter, and perhaps someday, I'll have them all . And, as my e-book list gets shorter, my stash of tattered paperbacks is getting smaller too - woo-hoo!

Spoiler:

Nero Wolfe was almost as famous for his wealthy clients and extravagant fees as for his genius at detection. So why has he accepted a case for $4.30? And why have the last two people to hire him been ruthlessly murdered? Wolfe suspects the answers may lie in the story of a twelve-year-old boy who turns up at the door of his West Thirty-fifth Street brownstone. In short order, Wolfe finds himself confronted by one of his most perplexing and pressing cases, involving a curious set of clues: a gray Cadillac, a mysterious woman, and a pair of earrings shaped like spiders dipped in gold. The case is all boiling down to a strange taste of greed—and a grumpy gourmand’s unappeasable appetite for truth.
